Redshift Ramp Node - UV mapping issue

[atomician]

Hello there,

I'm having a problem mapping a simple gradient ramp onto standard cube using default UV maps. I'll run through what I'm doing, would really appreciate help with this!

Here's the project that I discuss below: Gradient Ramp UV Mapping.c4d

Step 1: Open a new project with nothing in it, no materials or assets.

Step 2: Create a simple redshift material, add a "Ramp" node, connect it to the color input.

Step 3: Drag the material onto the cube. Keep the default UV mapping.

The result looks like this:

However, I would expect the cube to have the gradient showing on all sides, using these very basic default settings. I have played around a lot now with lots of different options. Things I've tried without any success:

• Using a scalar ramp node instead of ramp. Didn't expect it to work to be fair.
• Changing material projection to Cubic. No change.
• Add a triplanar node between ramp and material in node editor.
• Changing tiling and offset options on material
• In rendering settings > Redshift > System > Legacy have changed the "Material Processing Mode" and the "Texture Projections" Settings
• On the Ramp node, changing the "Source" and "Mapping" settings.
• Watched some gradient tutorials online. One from greyscale gorilla is great, but when I follow it, it doesn't work for me.
• Making cube editable. Also then tried dragging the UVW map into the Texture Space field on the ramp node.

What am I missing? It is something completely obvious?

Hi atomic,

Thanks for the file.

There are four options:

• Have the IPR running.

• Use the Preferences> Redshift> User Interface> Material Translation
(Viewport/Export)/ViewBaking (a feature that is so far not documented)

• Checking the Task Manager if something else is going on, or the Object Profiler

• If nothing helps, please check with tech support:

Ensure that nothing else is competing for the GPU's resources during your tests.

All the best
